Clue

[Guest Anglesault]

Come here to voice praise for one of my favorite movies ever, Clue.

 

One of the best ensemble casts I have ever seen, including Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, and Lesley Ann Warren amonst several others, and hilarious writing and performances (Especially Kahn) make this one of my favorite movies ever. Anyone else love it?

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Although it's not in my official top 10 list, I've always LOVED this movie. Tim Curry as Wadsworth/Boddy is great alone, but Christopher Lloyd as a perverted doctor and Martin Mull playing a character who pays for sexual favors make it even better.

 

 

Wadsworth: Like the canadian mounties say, we always get our man!

Mr. Green: Mrs. Peacock was a man!? (Two of the male actors slap him around like a bitch)

Wadsworth: Would anyone like some fruit or dessert? (I can't help but laugh at the out-of-nowhere line here)

 

 

There are some other great lines, but I haven't seen this movie in months so I blank out.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

One of my favorite comedies. Used to watched it all the time as a kid. And you're right, it's amazing that so many great comedians got together to make it. And so many quotable lines in the sucker!

 

"Let us in! Let us in!"

"Let us out! Let us out!"

 

"Da da da da da da! I-Am-Your-Singing-Telegram!":BANG:

 

"They're like the mounties. They always get their man."

"Mrs. Peacock was a man?!"

 

Edit: Beat me to it. That's how good of a line it is.

[bobobrazil1984 0]

Yes yes yes a million times YES!!!!!!!

 

This movie is fucking great, its hilarious, witty, has A TON of awesome one-liners. I never get sick of it.

 

Yes it's definetly one of the most underrated movies there is. As a matter of fact if you asked me what my favorite comedies are, I would say "Office Space and Clue"

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

"They're like the mounties. They always get their man."

"Mrs. Peacock was a man?!"

 

Edit: Beat me to it. That's how good of a line it is.

I think I got the first part of the exchange wrong. D-OH!

[Guest Anglesault]

Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her so... much... it... it... the... it... the... flames... flames... flames... on the side of my face... breathing... breathless... heaving breaths...

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

(Wads refuses to unlock the door)

Mrs. White: You're gonna pay for this, one day when we're alone together...

Wadsworth: Madam, No man in his right mind would be alone in a room with you.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her so... much... it... it... the... it... the... flames... flames... flames... on the side of my face... breathing... breathless... heaving breaths...

THAT was the line i was trying to think of. Good one too.

 

"AHHHHHH!"

"She's hysterical!"

:SLAP:

"Well... I had to stop her from screaming."

 

edit: here's another one:

 

Wadsworth: And what about your second husband, Mrs. White? He disappeared under how should we say, "mysterious circumstances"?

Mrs. White: Well, that was his job. He was a magician.

Wadsworth: But he never reappeared!

Mrs. White: He wasn't a very good magician.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

(Wads reinacts scenes of murder and hits Mr. green)

Mr. Green (frustrated) Will you stop that?!

Wadsworth: No...(continues beating him up)

--------------------------

Wadsworth: At dinner you mentioned tonight blah-blah was your favorite resipe. Popular in cantanese quiesene not often found in Washington D.C.

Mr. Green: Is that what we ate?

--------------------------

Yvette: It's dark in the attic and I'm frightened of the dark. Will anyone go with me?

Plum: I will.

Mustard: I will.

Green: No thank you.

--------------------------

Green: Actually, I'm a plant.

Scarlet: A Plant? I thought men like you were called fruits.

Mrs. White: Well, that was his job. He was a magician.

I know my quotes aren't 100%, but to clean this one up, he was an illusionast instead of magician.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colonel Mustard: Wadsworth, am I right in thinking there is no body else in this house?

Wadsworth: Ummm, no.

Colonel Mustard: Then there is someone else in this house?

Wadsworth: No, sorry. I said no meaning yes.

Colonel Mustard: No meaning yes? Look I want a straight answer, is there someone else, or isn't there? Yes or no?

Wadsworth: Ummm, no.

Colonel Mustard: No there is, or no there isn't?

Wadsworth: Yes.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colonel Mustard: Well, there is still some confusion as to whether or not there is anybody else in this house.

Wadsworth: I told you there isn't.

Colonel Mustard: There isn't any confusion, or there isn't anybody else?

Wadsworth: Either, or both.

Colonel Mustard: Just give me a clear answer.

Wadsworth: Certainly.

[clears his throat]

Wadsworth: What was the question?

Colonel Mustard: Is there anybody else in the house.

All: NO.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Wadsworth: You must be Mr. Green.

Mr. Green: Yes...

Wadsworth: [yelling at dog] sit!

[green sits down]

Wadsworth: Not you, I meant the dog.

 

 

 

Mrs. White: Oh my....nobody can get into that position.

Prof. Plum: Sure they can. Let me show you. (Plum gets into sexual position with Mrs. White)

Mrs. White: Get off me!

 

 

Officer: You're too late, I've seen everything.

Wadsworth: You have? I'm sorry but....

Officer: Sorry for what, theres nothings illegal about anyof this.

Wadsworth: Are you sure?

Officer: This is America, it's a free country don't you know that?

Wadsworth: I Didn't know it was That free.

Officer: .....(puzzled look)

 

Mr. Greens constant "I didn't do its" when someone was found dead.

I stumbled onto it on tv quite a few years ago, and I was really suprised at how amusing it was. Did it do well at the box-office?

[Guest Anglesault]

The female of the species is more deadly than the male."

You like Kipling, Miss Scarlet?

 

SCARLET: Sure, I'll eat anything

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

I stumbled onto it on tv quite a few years ago, and I was really suprised at how amusing it was. Did it do well at the box-office?

I'd assume so. It had a (then) All-Star cast of comedians in a film about a very popular and well known board game, and I don't think I've met someone who didn't like it (or the game).

[Guest Anglesault]

COP: This man's drunk. Dead drunk.

SCARLET: Dead right . . .

COP: You're not going to drive home, are you?

PLUM: He won't be driving home, officer! I promise you that!

SCARLET: Yeah . . .

COP: Somebody will give him a lift, huh?

SCARLET: Oh, we'll . . . we'll . . . get him a car.

PLUM: A long black car.

SCARLET: A limousine.

 

A gem I totally forgot

I don't know the direct line, but Tim Curry walking around in the dark and accidentally standing under a running shower is great. "Whats this? Another door? ::turns fauset on::"

[bobobrazil1984 0]

Mrs. White has a ton of good one-liners

 

"It’s a matter of life after death. Now that he’s dead, I have a life."

 

"Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage."

 

"You lure men to their deaths like a spider with flies.”

“Flies are where men and most vulnerable.”

 

and what's probably my favorite line of the whole movie by Col. Mustard:

“This is war, Peacock!!! Casualties are inevitable, you can NOT make an omelette without breaking an egg. Every cook'll tell you that!”

"but look what happened to the COOK!!!!!!"

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

This thread forced me to bust out the ol' VHS I have. I wish I had this on DVD. If it's on DVD, does anyone know if it's just the film, or are they bonus material.

[Soja 0]

It's bare-bones. Just an extra French dub and the original theatrical trailer.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

It is on DVD, but I believe it is just the film.

 

By far the best movie ever based off of a game.

[Cuban Linx 0]

I remember loving this, but i haven't seen it for years now, i just stumbled upon it on TV late one night and never got around to tracking it down. All these quotes bring the memories flooding back.

[WrestlingDeacon 0]

Clue actually did jack at the box office. I believe the total gross was around $15 million, which was very low even for 1985. You guys call it an "all star cast." But you have to look at the fact that while everyone in it are good actors and very funny, they were not big names. They were all character actors or second bananas. Christopher Lloyd had the most juice coming off of Back to the Future and that was about it. The novelty at the time was the three different endings and each theater would receive a different ending. Very clever and a cult classic. Probably one of my favorite underrated comedies too.

 

And a line no one has used yet,

 

"Is the FBI in the habit of cleaning up after multiple murders?"

"Why do you think it's ran by a man named Hoover?"

[Anakin Flair 0]

I haven't seen this movie in years, and now I must go out and buy it. Great movie.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

(I forget who): "Why is J. Edgar Hoover on your phone?"

Wadsworth: "He's on everybody else's, why shouldn't he be on mine?"

 

Wadsworth: "To make a long story short..."

Everyone: "TOO LATE!"

Wadsworth: "1 by 1, you all arrived."

(I use this clip when my computer starts up)

 

Wadsworth: "And, rrrraaaaaannnn down the hall!" (complete with arm raised, holding an imaginary knife)

 

I used this avatar for a bit on this board a few months back:

[2GOLD 0]

Easily one of the funniest movies ever. Brillant lines, brillant casting and just overall a fun film.

 

"I'm going to go home and have sex with my wife"

 

I don't know why, but Green saying that line at the end made me lose it.

 

This movie is a king of random lines.

 

And I think 15 million was the budget of the film and it made back the budget if I remember right.

[WrestlingDeacon 0]

Oh yeah, it like just broke even from what I know. It's one of the movies where the studio can't bitch, but can't toot their horn over either. Although I'm sure they've made a decent profit on it over the years with home sales and television revenue. Comedy Central used to show it like three times a week there for awhile.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

"I'm going to go home and have sex with my wife"

And I use that clip for when my computer shuts down.

Where do you find the Clue clips at?

 

I have tons of clips from other movies but none from CLUE and I need some CLUE clips. Right now, I'm using a clip from "Half Baked" to turn off my computer.
